About the Author :
Dr Kathleen McMillan is an academic and educator who has taught at all university levels. Firstly, as a lecturer she designed and delivered courses in European politics. From her experience as an assessor and examiner she identified students' difficulties in acquiring deeper understanding of their subject and translating that into successful attainment. This awareness led to further research into language acquisition as a foundation of learning and study. Consequently, she led a university team providing learning and language support to UK and international students at all levels. She designed and taught bespoke skills courses in diverse disciplines, such as, accountancy, architecture, art and design, computing science, dentistry, education, engineering, humanities, law, medicine, nursing, and social work.

This unique academic experience provides her with insights into the demands of core study and learning skills within the developing learning environment of universities. As author of The Study Skills Book 4th Edition, she presents students at all levels with techniques and approaches that will help them to demonstrate their learning and so achieve success.
